Portia de Rossi turns down 'Dancing With the Stars'

Portia de Rossi was asked to be on the next season of Dancing With the Stars, but she declined, her publicist tells EW. PopEater had reported that the hit show’s producers were keen on Ellen DeGeneres’ wife as one half of the show’s first same-sex dance couple. When she elected not to take part, the idea was reportedly shelved for the time being.
